Cannes’ jury president, Park Chan-wook — long a Cannes favorite, never a Palme winner — managed to roast himself and plug his latest movie at the closing press conference of the 79th Cannes Film Festival . Park quipped that he struggled with the decision of which film should take this year’s top award. “To be completely honest, I didn’t want to award the Palme d’Or to any of the films because it’s an award that I myself have never gotten. But I had no other choice,” Park Chan-wook deadpanned.
